Bitdefender Antivirus Plus Review: Undercutting the Competition
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is presented as a competitively priced option for people who want core antivirus protection without paying for a larger security bundle. The review says the company promotes its more expensive plans, but its entry-level product may offer better value if add-ons such as password management and broad device coverage are not priorities.
The introductory price is $25 for one device or $30 for three devices for the first year, rising to $50 and $70 respectively afterwards. By comparison, Total Security starts at $60 for the first year and covers up to five devices, adding a password manager. The review notes that the VPN included with Antivirus Plus is limited to 200 MB of data per day; Bitdefender also offers a free antivirus for Windows and Android, though it may show adverts encouraging an upgrade.
In short
- Antivirus Plus starts at $25 for the first year.
- Three-device cover costs $30 initially, then $70 annually.
- Its bundled VPN is capped at 200 MB per day.
